Children's Session
With so many people, and so few children immediately evident, you were sure there must be a "Pied Piper Festival" happening some where. Actually, it did not take long to find a good number of children functioning very nicely and learning very well.

Children must learning many basics, so Drill and Practice Games are "right" for some aspects of that kind of learning.

Parents' Session
Off to the side, I could see a session for parents, teachers, and other adults on the proper ways to use Drill and Practice Games.

There is a pilgrimage article here worth up to 10 XPs with the name "Drill Games:"

It should be possible to gain up to 10 XP, but to do so will require careful consideration and good writing.

For a Quest from the Children's Session (above), worth up to 5 XP. please try out, then report on, one set of two of your favorite games from across these sites as a " Drill and Practice Quest" (subject on Quests topic) They are quick and easy to play.

BEWARE: On some sites there are games for entertainment only. Be sure you indicate the educational value of the games you have chosen as educational drill and practice games!
